			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new study of twins suggests that the environment, including conditions in the womb, may be at least as important as genes in causing autism.</p>
<p>This just proves that if you give science long enough it will sift through the politics of an issue and eventually reach an intelligent conclusion… and this is just the beginning. Joachim Hallmayer, an associate professor of psychiatry at Stanford University found an elevated risk of autism in children whose mothers took a popular type of antidepressant, so called SSRI&#8217;s like Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, and Lexapro, during the year before delivery.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t be long before someone publishes a landmark study in a major peer reviewed journal finding a strong link between the aluminum/mercury dose in vaccines and autism. You can only hide a wolf in lamb&#8217;s clothing for so long.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientists at the University of California, Davis MIND Institute have determined that mothers who did not take prenatal vitamins were twice as likely to have an autistic child. Of course they are asking for further studies. If they had found a drug that would reduce the risk by half, every mother-to-be would be on that drug – ASAP.</p>
<p>We know that genetics plays a big role in autistic spectrum disorders, but our environment dictates which genes turn on and off so this research is no surprise to those of us who understand the genetics. The environment that we are referring too here is food, or more specifically, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.</p>
<p>It has been my opinion, and the opinion of the scientific authorities who I listen to, that not only is the average American diet a disease producing disaster, but prescribed pre-natal vitamins are woefully inadequate.</p>
<p>I have had expectant moms under my care who all take additional supplementation in addition to their pre-natal vitamins, and I have never had one of my moms have a child with an autistic spectrum disorder. The research that supports these ideas has been around for over fifty years, and is readily available to anyone who is interested enough to review the literature.</p>
<p>If you talk to families who have an autistic child, it is not unusual for them to tell you that the autistic behavior didn&#8217;t start until shortly after a vaccination. Adequate nutrition through supplementation, especially during breast feeding, will also reduce risk. Optimum vitamin and mineral levels have been know for decades to help detoxify toxins and heavy metals, even the mercury associated with vaccines.</p>
<p>The most important of these supplements in my opinion is <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/topics/vitamin-c/">Vitamin C</a>, and that is a story all by itself. I have written newsletters, most are listed on the <a href="http://www.askdoctordavid.com/c-1000/">Preventics Vitamin C-1000</a> page that you can access, if you are so inclined. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[I never cease to be amazed at how the media chooses experts to quote who represent businesses whose best interests lie in bamboozeling the public concerning vaccines that still use toxic mercury and aluminum as preservatives.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The media is at it again. On January 10, 2011, the article of mention in the Kansas City Star was entitled <i>Study: Birth Spacing May Affect Autism</i>. It suggested that children born less than two years apart have a higher risk of autism. It also suggested that perhaps it was due to the depletion of the mothers nutrients by the first child. Dr. Bearman, the primary author, was &#8220;shocked&#8221; by the results. He wouldn&#8217;t have been if he&#8217;d been familiar with prior science. Additionally, his research takes the heat off vaccination as a major cause of autism. Now it&#8217;s the fault of families that don&#8217;t adequately space births. I wonder who paid for this junk research? Would you be surprised if it was a vaccine manufacturer?</p>
<p>I never cease to be amazed at how the media chooses experts to quote who represent businesses whose best interests lie in bamboozeling the public. Just a couple of weeks ago a major story in the Kansas City Star de-bunked the vaccination/autism connection, and especially the British research published in 1998 that validated the connection. One of the reasons given for the invalidation of that and numerous other papers regarding this issue was the questionable health of the children studied who appear to have become autistic after vaccination. What difference does it make? Are only healthy children vaccinated? Are all children thoroughly screened for familial health risks and carefully physically examined before each vaccination? Are the makers of the vaccines that still use toxic mercury and aluminum as preservatives looking out for themselves and their profit, or the children? Let&#8217;s take a quick look at the facts.</p>
<p>Do really healthy kids from healthy families get reactions to the vaccines? No they don&#8217;t, at least not immediately noticeable ones. Maybe decades down the road of life, increased mercury and/or aluminum body burden will contribute to poor academic performance, miscarriage, dementia or cancer. An increased body burden of both of these heavy metals has been implicated in those and a myriad of other terrible conditions, and we continue to load our environment with both. If we warn pregnant women not to eat fish in order to avoid poisoning the fetus with mercury, why is mercury safe when injected in much greater quantities in a vaccination? Simple, it&#8217;s good for business. Likewise, if aluminum intake is directly related to Alzheimers Dementia, and it is, why aren&#8217;t people who drink beer and other beverages from aluminum cans apprised of the risks? Same answer, it would be bad for business to tell the truth.</p>
<p>Children today are raised in an increasingly more toxic environment. They live in dwellings built from man made materials, and they all off-gas toxic fumes for months or years. These gases are heavy and settle to the floor, so even when most adults aren&#8217;t bothered, the kids are crawling around in an invisible cloud of toxic gas. Kids today have more colds, ear aches, allergies, and minor infections, and more severe diseases as well. Anyone with an education and a lick of sense realizes that. And it seems like every ten years or so we come up with another vaccination to poison them with.</p>
<p>More than fifty years ago, Roger Williams, Ph.D., of the Clayton Foundation of the University of Texas, published numerous studies on nutrition, health, and disease. In his lectures he was fond of telling the story of how mothers that he studied, who had large families, began having health problems after 2.3 children, and that from the third child on, each child had more and more health problems. He liked to kid about statistics, and how he had never really met a woman who had three tenths of a child, but his points were well made.</p>
<p>It takes genuine replacement parts to heal an unhealthy body. It takes genuine replacement parts to build a healthy human being. In this country, most people eat from packages and cans. <b>Manufactured foods do not contain natural, healthy, genuine replacement parts</b>, and since the advent of manufactured foods we have become a nation of unhealthy people. The literature tells us that it has definitely affected morbidity (quality of life), and now for the first time the literature tells us that it is starting to affect mortality&hellip; for instance, this is the first generation that is not expected to live as long as the previous generation.</p>
<p>Have you been in a maternity ward lately and observed the general health of the expectant mothers? Does it take science fifty years to read its own literature, observe the situation and figure it out? Have you seen what hospitals feed their patients? It&#8217;s a travesty. For Heaven&#8217;s sake, there&#8217;s a McDonalds at Truman Medical Center in downtown Kansas City. What does that say about the mentality of the local medical community? Does it actually suggest that medical authorities think McDonalds fast food provides genuine replacement parts?</p>
<p>Vaccinations are contributing to autism. Any parent who has watched a behaviorally normal child slide into autistic behavior after a vaccination knows that. I have had too many parents relate that story to me in my practice, and my patients&#8217; parents are capable and caring observers.</p>
<p><b>Facts:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>family health in our country has declined;</li>
<li>children are being given ever increasing numbers of vaccinations preserved with toxic heavy metals (aluminum and mercury);</li>
<li>children with poor health histories, colds, etc., are being vaccinated without being appropriately screened as a high risk;</li>
<li>the medical/pharmaceutical industrial complex is protecting its reputation and profits; and</li>
<li>the media has fallen in line as usual.</li>
</ul>
